THE KICKER. A Theory of His Rise and Progress. The word "kicker" is no more slang, but an honorable term admitted by the lexicographer to the round table of English speech. This acceptance of the word proves that there was a real need for it; that a certain class of people had no word in the English language to fitly designate them. As a class these kickers must be as modern as tbe word which describes them. They are in ef fect a new product of our latest civiliza tion. The word which describes the kicker is picturesque. It suggests the mule whose kicking is usually done out of pure wantonness; which kicks in sea son and ont of season, at everything or at nothing as the case may be. Tlie term kicker scarcely needs definition. We know exactly what it means, as well as we know the chronic fault-finder it designates. THE RISE OF TBS KICKER. Any one who cares to trace the rise of the kicker will find that he keeps pace with the prevalent American disease, dyspepsia. All kickers may not ...

A Man to the Rescue! Tho Woman in Peril Barely Finds Help From Her Own Sex, It is in no wise to a woman's discredit that she is not a professional life-saver. We can only fancy her in the fireman's helmet, in the crew of the life-boat, or wielding a policeman's club, at the teas of some of that fineness which is Ahe distinguishing quality fflf her sax. Tha Molly Pitchers and Grace Darlings are only examples of the sublime- self-for getfulness of women in great emer gencies. It's orach the same in other ways. Women turn to the strength, skill and judgment of men in the crises of life. One of the most common statements made in the letters grateful women write to> Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. V, is this: " I owe my life to Dr. Tierce." These women have" found themselves in great danger. They have appealed ■xithout avail to local physicians. They ;iave counseled in vain with women advisers. The best that had been done for them was just to keep them afloat in the sea of disease with str...

A MISERABLE MAN. Two Years and Six Monthß Without Sleep. Sletfp seems to be m marry cases a matter of habit, just as eating and •'linking are habits. Tbe Arab whoM Assert life leads to abstemiousness, de c tales the offer of a draught of water, saying, " No thank yem, I drank yester day." He drinks only when thirsty, and like his own camels, he cam go long and far without water. It's much the same with sleep. When Gabet and Hue, the French missiona ries, were exploring Tartary they en gaged in the translation of the Scrip- tures, working without intermission day and" night. When one felt the need of sleep he lay on a coach, holding in his hand a ball, beneath which, on tbe floor, was a brazen bowl. When his muscles relaxed sufficiently to release the ball, it fell into the bowl, and the noise wakened the sleeper who resumed his work. But it is one thing to give up sleep and another thing altogether to be nnable to sleep. Those who suffer from asthma, bronchitis and other dis eases o...

MODERN MISERS. Men Who Starve Themselves to Accumulate Money. There is a certain fearful Fascination about the stories of the misers of the past. The money they accumulated was of no more practical value to them than the trinkets stolen and secreted by some magpie or jackdaw. They hid it from the sight and use of men aud iv silence and secret gloated over the useless wealth. To gathei it they lived on crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover them and fire to warm them, lived starved lives and in not a few cases died of starvation. That was the old-time miser. The modern miser resembles this man of the past in the particular that he frequently dies of starvation. In his eagerness to gather money he pays small heed to the claims of health. He eats anything, anyhow, anywhen, and anywhere. He doesn't eat cru9ts by any means nor spare his purse to fill Ins stomach. The mistake he makes is in thinking that when a man has filled his stomach, that is the end of the busi ness of feeding. In...
